I'LABK.

Application filed Aprll 10, 1925. Serial; No. 22,063.

My invention relates to flasks and the principal object of my invention is to provide new and improved means for alining flask sections. In the drawings accompanying this specification and forming a part thereof I have shown, for purposes of illustration, one form which my invention may assume. In these drawings:

Figure 1 is a plan view of this illustrative embodiment of my invention,

Figure2 is a side elevation of this illustrative embodiment of my invention,

Figure 3 is an end elevation of this illustrative embodiment of my invention,

Figure 4 is a section on the line 4-4 of Figure 1, while T Figure 5 illustrates a method of forming the follower. i

The fiask herein shown comprises a drag section 11 and a cooperating cope section 12, and a plurality of means for alining these two sections each of which comprises a bracket 13 formed integral with the drag section 11 and a cooperating bracket'14 formed integral with the cope section 12. Each of these drag section brackets 13 is provided with a pair of apertures 15 through which extend the reduced extensions 16 of a pair of cylindrical pins 17 which are firmly held to the bracket 13 by means of nuts 18 coacting with the cooperatlngly screw-threaded surfaces of the extensions 18,

while each of the cope section brackets 14 carries a follower 19 secured to the bracket 14 by means of bolts 20 and. formed to embrace each of the pins 17 throughout approximately half the circumference of each pin.

dope as it is being withdrawn from the drag,

and unusually inexpensive to manufacture and apply. It will. also be 'ap arent that I may use the same means for a 11in a attern plate with either or both of t 9' ask sections, alinement of the pattern plate with Because of the construction of these fol-.

the cope section alone being accomplished cooperate with the existing follower 1.9 on the cope, and alinement of the pattern plate with the drag alone, or with both the drag and the cope, being accomplished by providmg on the pattern plate followers 19 to cooperate with the existing pins 17. It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that the embodiment of my invention herein shown and described embraces advantages other than those specifi cally pointed out or suggested herein and also that the particular embodiment of my invention herein shown may be variously changed and modified without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing the-advantages thereof. It will therefore be understood that this disclosure is illustrative only and that my invention is not limited thereto.

I claim: a

1. A flask comprising two sections tobe alined, and a plurality of means for alining said sections each comprising a pair of spaced ins secured'to one of said sections, and fol ower means secured to the other of said sections and formed to at least partially embrace each of said pins.

2. A flask comprising two sections to be alined, and a plurality of means for alining said sections each com rising a pair of pins secured to one of sai sections and spaced from each other in the direction of extent of the adjacent section wall, and follower means secured to the other of said sections and formed to at least partially embrace each ofsaid pins.

3. A flask comprising two sections to 'be alined, and a plurality of means for alining said sections each comprising a pair cf spaced pins secured to one of sa'id sections, and follower means secured to the other of said sections, engaging the same side of both cooperating pins, and formed to at least partiallyembrace each of said pins.

alined, and a plurality of means for alining said sections each comprising a pair of pins secured to one of said sections and spaced from each other in the direction of extent of the adjacent section wall, and follower means secured to the other of said sections, engaging the same side of both cooperating pins and in a direction generally normal-to the adjacent section wall, and formed to at least partially embrace each of said pins.

6. A flask comprising two sections to be alined, and a plurality of means for alining said sections each comprising a pair of spaced cylindrical pins secured to one of said sections, and follower means secured to the other of said sections and formed to at least partially embrace each of said pins.

7 A flask comprising two sections to be alined, and a plurality of means for alining said sections each comprising a pair of spaced pins secured to one of said sections,

and a one-piece follower secured to the other of said sections and formed to at least tially embrace each of said pins.

8. A flask comprising two sections .to be alined, and a plurality of means for aligning said sections each comprising a pair of spaced cylindrical pins secured to one of said sections, and a one-piece follower secured to the other of said sections and formed to at least partially embrace each of said pins.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature.
